3. he said the election was tainted and a mockery of due process and it was stolen outright.

4. Suicide, drug overdoses and alcohol-related deaths.

5. power rangers was never really my style of movie but i saw the trailer the other day and it looked really good.

long response: 16 year old Brynn Aylor died in a car crash where she lost control and slid onto the other side of the road. A pickup whirred by her and caused her to lose control of her car. I think kids should just read stories about how many people have died just because they decided to do stupid stuff while driving and it ruined their lives forever; that would be create training.

I personally am already driving, but i'm getting my license on my 16th birthday. I think kids should just be smart enough to not use their phones while driving.

I think 15 and 16 year olds should be able to drive.

Long response:
I think Obama did order surveillance on Trump, and I don't blame him either. Obama actually cared about this country, where as Trump does not, obviously. Trump needs to apologize to everyone, jesus. If you could kick a president out, let's do it. The FBI believes there was a Russian connection to tap tally scores. I think there probably was a tap on it. He had the money to do it anyways. WHY HAVEN'T WE KICKED HIM OUT YET??? I DO NOT TRUST HIM AND NEITHER DOES HALF OF THE UNITED STATES. I trust that something will be done to trump if something is found.

letting go

Today I decided to write about my past. And although is makes me uncomfortable and icky, I have to accept that it is a part of my life and I must talk about it.
Up until I was seven, my family was decently wealthy. We went on a Disney World trip over the summer and that's when my dad got a call from his boss that the business shut down and my mom was unemployed. And because of this stress, anger began to arise in the house. My dad slept on the couch and there was constant yelling going around. We couldn't afford our house anymore so we moved out to a smaller place and rented it. My room was an office that I shared with my dad. The arguing became worse and sometimes when my dad was gone, my mom would call me horrible names, even occasionally slap me.
My dad picked my siblings and I up from school one day, bought us ice cream and sat us in the back of my uncle's trailer. He told us that he had divorced my mom. He was living in that trailer with no shower, office or free space.
Just a few months later, I started getting bullied. Bullying was a huge part of my life from that point on.
In January of 2014, my dad married a woman I had never met and I was furious with him. I sided with my abusive mother and created lots of bad energy in my life.
Bullying continued to play on and get worse as middle school passed by. By the end of 6th grade I was purposefully hurting myself.
Moving onto 7th grade, I started to see my dad more. I was visiting him every weekend and a couple days a week. I spent some of the summer with him and some of the summer with my mom. At this time, I started to develop serious depression and I isolated myself from others and hurt myself almost daily.
I attempted suicide in March of 2015.
At the start of 8th grade, I ran away and never saw my mom again, to this day. My self harm was getting worse and so did bullying. Over the winter break of 2015 I was raped and I continuously blamed myself for it. In February of 2016, I was sexually harassed by the boy sitting next to me in class. He was only suspended for a week and I was removed from the class.
February 12th was the last day that I ever hurt myself. As I continued to live with my dad, my life started to get better. I pulled myself out of depression and have not spoken to my mom for over a year now.
This is dedicated to accepting my past and becoming a newer version of myself, and to show others that it gets better; you just have to believe it will.
Find your passion and believe that you can do anything, and you will.

long response: 
Families and parents get to decide where their children go to school, unlike now where you have to apply. Douglas Harris thinks that school choice is not enough, he thinks that the government needs to be involved in schooling. Brendan Steinhouser's opinion is that school choice is a no-brainer, and he wants the limited government. I have never attended private school or been home schooled, but my sister is home schooled and she complains about it a lot. When you're home schooled, you're not affected by anything else, the only things that you can think about are made by your teacher. I think my parents would let me go wherever I wanted because they want to do what's best for me and the only person who knows that is, well, me. I would never go to private school. If I went to a private school, I might behave better, but I would also miss the wild fights and pranks and stuff in public school.

front pages of the world

1. My favorite is the austin american statesman because it's from my hometown and i read it weekly.

2. "nighttime storms rip through region." I like this one because it makes me remember the storm i was in and it makes me wonder what other people went through.

3. 3

4. they all kind of look the same except for fonts and whatnot, but they all basically have the same structure.

5. Fonts vary, and so do stories (obviously).

I like that our school paper looks more teen intriguing than adult intriguing.
The true colors in our paper really pop out to me.
I really loved the women's march one and the black history month one.
I think the paper can be improved with better photos.
I think in some ways it does, but mainly not.
I love our school paper, I always love reading the stories. It reminds me of newspaper in middle school.
